Background: Restriction factors are host cell proteins that play a role in limiting virus replication. They form part of the intrinsic immune system and function as a first line of defense against viral infections. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) does not escape this rule and TREX1, a host restriction enzyme acts as an antiviral factor, leading to the inhibition of the virus.

Chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) are major health challenges in Thailand, with Phetchabun province, a known HCV-endemic area, being a key target for elimination efforts. This study aimed to assess HBV prevalence and identify associated risk factors in this province. Data was collected from three cross-sectional population studies: (1) adults in 2015 (n = 1,667, age 30-64 years), (2) young adults in 2017 (n = 1,453, age 18-30 years), both from high HCV-endemic districts, and (3) a province-wide study in 2018 (n = 4,769, age 35-64 years).

Background: England aims to reach the World Health Organization (WHO) elimination target of decreasing HCV incidence among people who inject drugs (PWID) to <2 per 100 person-years (/100pyrs) by 2030. We assessed what testing and treatment strategies will achieve this target and whether they are cost-effective.
Methods: A dynamic deterministic HCV transmission model among PWID was developed for four England regions, utilising data on the scale-up of HCV treatment among PWID in prisons, drug treatment centres (DTC, where opioid agonist therapy is provided), and any other setting (e.

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is crucial for eliminating this silent killer, especially in resource-limited settings. HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) represents a promising alternative to the current "gold standard" HCV RNA assays as an active viremia biomarker. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical magneto-immunosensor for the HCVcAg was developed.

With the ongoing rise in the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), its extraintestinal manifestations have garnered significant attention. IBD-related arthritis is notable for its insidious onset and unpredictability, presenting considerable challenges for clinical diagnosis and management. Factors such as gut microbiota, plasma proteins, inflammatory proteins, and biomarkers found in blood and urine may be closely associated with IBD-related arthritis.
